Orthogonality Preserving Transformations on Indefinite Inner Product Spaces: Generalization of Uhlhorn’s Version of Wigner’s Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an analogue of Uhlhorn’s version of Wigner’s theorem on symmetry transformations for the case of indefinite inner product spaces. This significantly generalizes a result of Van den Broek. The proof is based on our main theorem, which describes the form of all bijective transformations on the set of all rank-one idempotents of a Banach space which preserve zero products in both directions.

Generalization of Wigner’s Unitary-antiunitary Theorem for Indefinite Inner Product Spaces
We present a generalization of Wigner’s unitary-antiunitary theorem for pairs of ray transformations. As a particular case, we get a new Wigner-type theorem for non-Hermitian indefinite inner product spaces. The classical Wigner unitary-antiunitary theorem plays a fundamental role in the foundations of quantum mechanics and it also has deep connections with the theory of projective spaces. It s...
متن کاملORTHOGONALITY PRESERVING TRANSFORMATIONS ON THE SET OF n-DIMENSIONAL SUBSPACES OF A HILBERT SPACE
We characterize bijective transformations on the set of all n-dimensional subspaces of a Hilbert space that preserve orthogonality in both directions. This extends Uhlhorn’s improvement of Wigner’s classical theorem on symmetry transformations.
متن کامل$C^{*}$-semi-inner product spaces
In this paper, we introduce a generalization of Hilbert $C^*$-modules which are pre-Finsler modules, namely, $C^{*}$-semi-inner product spaces. Some properties and results of such spaces are investigated, specially the orthogonality in these spaces will be considered. We then study bounded linear operators on $C^{*}$-semi-inner product spaces.
متن کاملOrthogonality preserving mappings on inner product C* -modules
Suppose that A is a C^*-algebra. We consider the class of A-linear mappins between two inner product A-modules such that for each two orthogonal vectors in the domain space their values are orthogonal in the target space. In this paper, we intend to determine A-linear mappings that preserve orthogonality. For this purpose, suppose that E and F are two inner product A-modules and A+ is the set o...
متن کاملA Wigner-type Theorem on Symmetry Transformations in Banach Spaces
We obtain an analogue of Wigner’s classical theorem on symmetries for Banach spaces. The proof is based on a result from the theory of linear preservers. Moreover, we present two other Wigner-type results for finite dimensional linear spaces over general fields. Wigner’s theorem on symmetry transformations (sometimes called unitary-antiunitary theorem) plays fundamental role in quantum mechanic...
